We can never be what others want us to be. Against the forces of expectation we all work hard to carve out our own path, define our own contribution, be what our hearts tell us to be. Alone on stage throughout Germany, in front of hundreds of strangers, ironically not knowing what to expect, this has been my opening song, my statement: you want me to be something, at my best, I can never be.
